'storage_dir' where the path to the storage folder can be configured.

097abb42fa tahoe.cfg: add tub.port=listen:i2p (and/or listen:tor)
This delegates the construction of the server Endpoint object to the i2p/tor
Provider, which can use the i2p/tor section of the config file to add options
which would be awkward to express as text in an endpoint descriptor string.

refs ticket:2889 (but note this merely makes room for a function to be
written that can process I2CP options, it does not actually handle such
options, so it does not close this ticket yet)

9375056b61 Split up startstop_node and add 'tahoe daemonize'
This sets the stage for further changes to the startup
process so that "async things" are done before we create
the Client instance while still reporting early failures
to the shell where "tahoe start" is running

Also adds a bunch of test-coverage for the things that got
moved around, even though they didn't have coverage before

This opens a wormhole and sends appropriate JSON down
it to a tahoe-gui using a wormhole server running on

d47fc0fd27 config: add reveal-IP-address=False
This adds a safety flag named `[node] reveal-IP-address`, for which the
default value is True. When this is set to False, any configuration that
might reveal the node's IP address (to servers, or the external network)
will cause a PrivacyError to be raised at startup, terminating the node
before it gets a chance to betray the user's privacy. It also adds docs
and tests.

327bef3383 update tor/i2p docs to match current config syntax
This removes the section that describes automatic configuration using
transport-agnostic endpoint-centric tub.port strings. That was the
approach where tub.port used "onion:80:hiddenServiceDir=PATH", and
Foolscap was able to query the generated Listener to find out what
address it was supposed to advertise. We considered this for a long
time, but in the end decided to use a more static approach, where
foolscap/tahoe never try to guess it's location: Tahoe always requires
tub.location= to be set.

When we get automatic configuration implemented, it'll be a simple CLI
argument, something like "tahoe create-server --listen=tor".

Instead, this document now explains how to configure Tor to create the
hidden service, then how to copy the generated .onion address into the
tahoe config.

This also removes a lot of other text that seems irrelevant now, and
refers the user to the tahoe.cfg docs (configuration.rst) instead of
including all the `[tor]`/`[i2p]` docs inline.

a099b9237d tor: socks.port is now a (restricted) endpoint string
Foolscap has limitations that prevent us from accepting anything but a
TCP endpoint, but that will change in the future, so make the tahoe.cfg
syntax accept an endpoint, but then reject non-TCP ones. See the ticket
for details: refs ticket:2813.

This depends upon the new `foolscap.connections.tor.socks_port(host,
port)` API in foolscap-0.12.2, so it bumps the dependency to that (the
previous commit depended upon 0.12.1, but I hadn't gotten around to
updating the dep before now).

might be necessary) before creating the Tub, so the portnumber part of
FURLs can be determined earlier.

8279d919f3 remove "manhole" (ssh-accessible REPL)
This little-used debugging feature allowed you to SSH or Telnet "into" a
Tahoe node, and get an interactive Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) that
executed inside the context of the running process. The SSH
authentication code used a deprecated feature of Twisted, this code had
no unit-test coverage, and I haven't personally used it in at least 6
years (despite writing it in the first place). Time to go.

Also experiment with a Twisted-style "topfiles/" directory of NEWS
fragments. The idea is that we require all user-visible changes to
include a file or two (named as $TICKETNUM.$TYPE), and then run a script
to generate NEWS during the release process, instead of having a human
scan the commit logs and summarize the changes long after they landed.

000c148ad8 drop Python 2.6 (.travis.yml, doc, setup.py)
Twisted 15 dropped support for it, which causes Travis CI tests to fail on 2.6.
We still theoretically support older versions of Twisted, so perhaps we should
configure Travis to test with those? I think we should drop Python 2.6 in any
case since distros are all on 2.7 now.

I'm leaving Travis running (and ignoring) the failing PyPy tests because I
don't know why that is there.

cc0b1ff6ec fix a couple more "file:" links
Making them be just links to "$FILENAME" instead of to "file:$FILENAME" causes
them to be working links on trac and on github. Yay!

4e0a8d8d4f fix small issues in formatting
* fix warning from "rst2html --verbose" by not using the in-line hyperlink
  syntax. The warning said::

    known_issues.rst:261: (INFO/1) Hyperlink target "google chart api" is not referenced.

* remove dead code (no-longer-referenced link), thus fixing another warning

* change links to relative files to be just $FILENAME instead of
  file:$FILENAME, which I think will fix the problem of broken links on the
  trac and github, e.g. the link in
  https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/docs/known_issues.rst ,
  which ought to go to
  https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/browser/trunk/docs/cautions.rst , but
  instead goes to file:///cautions.rst

0a89b738bc Make introducer.furl unguessable. Closes #1802.
Previously, Introducers always used a swissnum of "introducer", so
anyone who could learn the (public) tubid of the introducer would be
able to connect to and use it. This changes new Introducers to use the
same randomly-generated swissnum as clients and storage servers do, so
that you absolutely must learn the introducer.furl from someone who
knows it already before you can connect.

This change also moves the location of the file that stores
introducer.furl from BASEDIR/introducer.furl to
BASEDIR/private/introducer.furl, since that's where we keep the private
things. The first time an introducer is started with the new code, it
will move any existing BASEDIR/introducer.furl into the new place.

Note that this will not change the FURL of existing introducers: it will
only affect newly created ones. When you change an introducer's FURL,
you must also update all of the nodes (clients and storage servers)
which connect to it, so upgrading it to an unguessable one isn't
something we should do automatically.
